Bulletin boards In the city Friday
Jweje crowded about throughout the
dayln spite of the downpour. The
telephone of The Advance office did
constant duty answering puestions of
.anxious ones about the draft. Inter
eat In the matter was by no means
limited to those of draft age, for the
-entire city wanted to know who
would be called into Uncle Sam's
service.
Thursday night the method of
drawing the numbers was changed.
General Crowder found that certain
State Boards had blundered in pre
paring their lists and the plan by
1 wti1Yi tha cnliro nrnppAq would have
een completed in about two hours
bad to give way to a more elaborate
one that necessitated many hours
work.
This is the plan followed:
In each district in the country the
men were numbered serially from 1 .
to the highest number of cards in j
that district. The numbers drawn es
tablished the draft order of every i
man holding that number in every.
1 t 1 o
district. Numbers higher than that
number in a certain district were
disregarded by that district. For In-!

WISE MAN OF ENGLAND TELLS
THIS NATION THROUGH THE
UNITED PRESS SOME THINGS
ABOUT WAR
(By Spencer Wilkinson, Professor of
Militury History, Oxford University.)
(Written For The United Press)
London, July 5 (By Mail) In my
judgment the important matters for
a nation going Into war are these:
First of all, the statesmen and the
people should have a true conception
of the nature of war and of the char
acter of the particular war they are
taking up. Otherwise the leading can
not be right. The supreme leader is
always the statesman and In a demo
cratic country the people must un
derstand anl sympathise with the
statesman. If he sees too far ahead
they won't follow and If the popular
ideas on the subject of war are not
true the greatest leader may be crip
pled. In the military sphere the first
thing is the choice of a commander
and his assistants. When raising an
army the vital matter is the choice
and education of the officers. In the

there Is no other way of mastering the
secrets of war. In other words "a
knowledge of the Mgh parts of wiir
enn he obtained only hy studying the
history of great campaigns and by
experience." ,
In an army that has passed through
a Ioiim period of peace, experience lit
necessarily lacking, a knowledge of
war is possessed only by those who
have studied it In the way Napoleon
recommended. Such a student was the
late Admiral Mahan of the 1'nlted
States Navy. No writer in ativ coiintrv
i has shown a stronger grasp of war or
better illuminated by his writings its
j larger aspects, especially in all that
concerns maritime warfare.
My lirst point is: Warfare cannot
be conducted without knowledge, but
I in the choice of a commander the
lirst requisite is not knowledge, but
character. If I were looking for a
commander-in-chief I should search
above all for a man of high purpose.
I who, I could he sure, would think
only of his duty, only of his country
